Verdict and Conclusion
I have to say … I’m really impressed with the performance of the ORICO GV100 Mini M.2 Portable NVMe SSD. I wasn’t expecting the drive to reach the advertised read/write speeds of 940MB/sec. But in fact our CrystalMark Disk test, it surpassed my expectations and reached an impressive read speed of between 1036-1039 MB/sec, which was a nice surprise. I love it when products work beyond their stated performance. Writes speeds reached a high of between 950-957 MB/sec, which again is surpassed my expectations.
You can buy the ORICO GV100 Portable NVMe SSD (512GB version) for around USD $149 at Amazon – https://amzn.to/3h5VtbT
As you know I produce a lot of videos for my YouTube Channel (you can access it here), and transferring files using traditional mechanical USB drives can be slow and tedious. With the ORICO GV100 Mini M.2 Portable NVMe SSD, I can easily transfer and edit my video files (which are often larger than 5GB per file), this greatly improves my editing and helps to increase my productivity.
What I also like about the ORICO GV100 is the compact size. With a thickness of only 9.9mm and weighing in at just 22g, it’s one of the lightest portable drive I’ve ever used. It’s just like carrying a USB flash drive … but this time, it’s got a massive capacity of 512GB, plus it’s the speed of a SSD drive.
